No. At one point in time they were okay. In present day, they're essentially a mafia.

CE loves labor unions unless it's police unions. Then unions are evil organizations giving paid vacations to racist murderers.

It's funny that you'd dispute that given that you're one of usual suspects who makes the "paid vacation" quips all the time.

No, but that's mainly due to the teacher's unions here in Ontario that seem to always be on strike while claiming they're doing it for the children.

Public sector unions should not exist.

Mixed view. Collective bargaining can help workers but it can also lead to corruption and waste. A union can also do more harm than good if they overreach on their demands.

As with anything, I'd say if the union has wise, ethical leadership then they're good, but if they have corrupt or foolish leadership then it's bad

Every union is there to protect the shittiest employees of its group from getting fired. The police union is literally no different.

The problem is it goes both ways. Yes, they protect workers from being unjustly treated by employers, but many times they also unjustly protect workers against much justified discipline

Not really, although I recognize that they are an important check on unregulated capitalism.
